Mania Grade: B+
* Age Rating: 13 and Up
* Region: All Region DVD
* Released By: FUNimation Entertainment, Ltd.
* Running time: 25
* Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Widescreen
* Disc Resolution: 480i/p
* Disc Encoding: MPEG-2
* Series: Fullmetal Alchemist
In Summary:
There’s a lot of good little information to be had here and it continues to be interesting to see the various Homunculi come out and play against Ed and Al in different ways. Greed isn’t one of my favorite villains, but he’s a fair shade better and more interesting than Gluttony though that isn’t saying a lot. What this does is enlarge the stage for the brothers as to what they’re fighting against while also providing a few more clues about the Philosopher’s Stone and the boys father. Izumi continues to be a character that fits in perfectly in their lives, though I’d have loved to see her and Winry meet at this point just to see how she’d torment all of them. With some very good action pieces to be had here, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood really is moving along at a good pace to tell an engaging and fun story. It’s a weekly show that I can actually get behind and look forward to.
